This week in reading we are going to be looking at the main idea and details of different stories. We are going to be focusing on comprehension and working on asking ourselves questions throughout the story to make sure that we fully understand what we are reading. We are focusing on the ch and wh sounds, which will be our chunks of the week this week.
In math, we are going to continue exploring measurement. This week the students will be using a tape measure in order to measure objects that are not flat. The students will be measuring different parts of their own bodies, such as their wrist, elbow, and head. Additionally, we will be learning how to tell time to the quarter-hour and introducing timelines. Look for Home Links 4.5, 4.7 and a subtraction practice sheet to come home this week.
We are continuing to work on our Neighborhoods Unit in Social Studies. The children have been learning how to read a map. Ask your child if they can locate Wisconsin on a map of the United States. They may even want to locate other states they've traveled to.
